Food Blog It # 3

Howdy everyone! Hope everyone is doing well and keeping their stomaches happy with good food! Between work and keeping this food reviewing passion alive is tough and I apologize for not updating for so long! But I promise, more is to come!

I've been to a few places lately unprepared to review but I would like to give you guys some short reactions just in case it's a place you thought of going to! I will add onto this list as I have more time!


(1) Oonami (Japanese & Oyster Restaurant)

Location : No. 39, Cadogan Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong
Cuisine : Japanese / Oyster
Tel. # : (852) 2817-6626
Website : www.oonamihk.com

Short reaction : Located in Kennedy Town, very close to Sai Wan district, Oonami is a Japanese restaurant located in the most unexpected area. When you step inside, the place feels very welcoming. There's a full sushi bar, decent amount of seating (it's not very big). The place is heard of to be always packed so book for your seatings! The food both raw and cooked are all above average. I've tasted some roasted dishes, fried, sushi, dessert, tampura and so on and I can assure, they were all acceptable! Nothing on the short end.


(2) T.G.I. Friday's

Location : 26 Nathan Road, 4/F & 5/F, Tsim Sha Shui, Hong Kong
Cuisine : American
Tel. # : (852) 2368-2800
Website : http://www.tgifridays.com

Short reaction : T.G.I. Friday's is a trademark not even in America and in some local supermarkets, but it's located internationally everywhere! In Hong Kong, there's one location in the heart of Tsim Sha Shui. When I stepped inside, the place was huge like the ones in America. Bars with TVs and others TVs located throughout the restaurant. The theme, setup, decoration is pretty much similar like you never left America. Yet, food wise, it's not exactly the same as my last few experience in a TGIF's in America. I say about 50% of the dishes on the table were not comparable quality. Perhaps it was just a bad day for the chef. On the brighter side of things, the other 50% were good and I had no complaints! Overall, I would definitely give it another try!

(3) Frontier

Location : 1/F Cheung's Building, 1-3 Wing Lok Street,
Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Cuisine : Indian and other influences
Tel. # : (852) 2850-5075
Website : N/A

Short reaction : Frontier is right next to Pasha Kebabs. It's somewhat hidden but plenty of signs to lead you into some wonderful curry aroma! Frontier provides seat in lunch specials ranging from $39 HKD to about $60 HKD. The lunch special comes with rice, naan, small side of salad, appetizer (somosa), soup of the day and your choice of curry (price ranges). Drink price (lemon ice tea and soda) is reduced when you order the set lunch special. There's also a takeout special that's $25 HKD with rice, your choice of chicken or lamb curry and $2 HKD more for additional naan. I've personally tried the seat in and takeout specials and the curry were all good! You can definitely sense the spices and the aroma that comes from the curry. I've also ordered curry independently (lamb, chicken, fish) and I personally enjoyed it. Independent ordering is a bit pricey but it's justify through its good quality. Malaysian and Thai curry can be found at Frontier but I would stick with Indian because that's the highlight!
